Integrity Payment Systems Review

Unlike certified quotes offered through CardFellow, this processor’s quotes aren’t held to any standards of pricing or terms. Essentially, the processor is free to use whatever tactics it wants before and after you choose its quote and it’s up to you to navigate the gauntlet yourself. It sounds scary because it is.

We’ve been helping businesses just like yours get the most competitive processing since 2006. It’s not our first rodeo, and it’s really helpful to have us on your side before and after you choose a processor. Want CardFellow as your personal processing consultant? No problem, simply choose a certified quote through our marketplace and never overpay for processing again.

Integrity Payment Systems is a family owned payment processing company that began in 2002. Headquartered in its original location of Illinois, it processes over $3 billion in volume every year. The company claims a dedication to the value of integrity, hence the name. Integrity offers a variety of payment processing options for businesses of all sizes and types, with a specialty in the salon industry. In this Integrity Payment Systems review and profile, we will provide details on the services offered and discuss whether its reputation lives up to its name.

What payment processing services are offered through Integrity?

Integrity’s website can be a little longwinded, but we’ll make it short and sweet: if it’s an electronic payment, Integrity will probably process it for you. Credit card processing, check acceptance, online payments, and mobile payments are all offered services.

Credit Card Processing

Card payment acceptance is a convenience that many customers now take for granted. With Integrity, you can process major brands of credit cards to help make sure you don’t miss a sale. With Integrity Payment Systems, you will also have options for how to accept the cards. You can do business online, in person, with mobile devices, or standard retail terminals.

Check Acceptance

Paper checks have been around for a long time and are still a preferred method of payment. If you would like to offer your customers the convenience of accepting checks, Integrity has some options for you. One option is to use a check scanner to convert the check into an electronic transaction. Another method is to use the Integrity Money Gate virtual terminal to process the check. Both options eliminate the necessity of going to the bank.

Virtual Terminals and Online Payments

With Money Gate, Integrity’s virtual terminal, you have even more options. You can integrate the program with your company’s website and shopping carts to allow customers to make payments online. Alternately, you can turn any computer or mobile device with internet access into a terminal. Either key-in the transaction or attach a card swiper, and start taking payments.

Money Gate allows for different users to have different administrative access for transactions. You can also set up recurring payments and schedule billing. Another advantage is that sensitive data can be tokenized (turned into a secure code), so that you can safely store it for later use.

Mobile Payments

Business cannot always be tethered to a storefront. If you are in a service industry like lawn care or transportation, of if you attend events like tradeshows or farmers markets, being able to take a payment on the go can be very valuable.

As mentioned above, the virtual terminal is one option for making payments mobile. Another is to use ROAMpay, a means of converting a mobile device or tablet into a terminal. ROAMpay allows you to attach a small card reader to your device. It also has custom apps that allow you to securely take payments.

Integrity AutoSave

A penny saved is a penny earned, and those pennies add up. Integrity AutoSave is a way of making small scheduled payments to yourself, so that they build into a nest egg for you and your company. Many people find the process of saving much easier when broken into small, manageable increments.

Overnight Money Express

If you have ever suffered from held funds, you know that it can be more than just an inconvenience. It can mean serious costs to your business. If you need your funds now, you can use Integrity’s Overnight Money Express. It’s exactly what it sounds like; get an advance on the funding you need as quickly as overnight.

Integrity Payment Systems Reviews and Online Reputation

Integrity Payment Systems has been accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2015 and its profile boasts an A+ rating. The company has only 23 complaints closed in the last 3 years, a relatively low number. The viewable complaints allege billing issues, held funds, but above all difficulty cancelling contracts and early termination fees (typically reported at $595).

There are 5 reviews found upon searching Integrity Payment Systems with Ripoff Report. A couple of the reviews claim problems with equipment lease agreements. Others allege issues with contracts, bad customer service, and false promises.

A surprising number of reviews are found on Google reviews, with very mixed sentiments. Integrity has a 2.7 star rating out of 5, and for the most part people either love or hate the service. The number one complaint is customer service experience, strangely that is also the most complimented aspect of the company in these reviews. Hidden fees, expensive rates, and difficulty canceling contracts along with early termination fees are reported in the complaints as well. Others proclaim great pricing and overall service, especially compared with other processors.

So, why the discrepancy among clients? People’s experiences can be very different even when dealing with the same processor. It is not a one size fits all business, which is why requesting a quote and comparing quotes is so important.
